FluoroType^® NG

The test system FluoroType^® NG allows for the rapid and reliable detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae directly from patient specimens such as urethral or cervical swabs and urine. Additionally, the DNA extracted for FluoroType^® NG can also be used with FluoroType^® CT for the identification of Chlamydia trachomatis. Both tests can be combined easily as they can be processed simultaneously with the FluoroCycler^® 12.

For the innovative FluoroType^® NG, bacterial DNA is manually extracted from patient specimens using FluoroLyse. The subsequent amplification and detection run fully automated in the FluoroCycler^® 12 instrument. Results are interpreted by the specific and user-friendly FluoroSoftware^® and are available after only three hours.

• Reliable: The internal control ensures a successful extraction; it also serves as inhibition control for the amplification. Valid results are therefore guaranteed.
• Compatible with CT test: Since the test procedure is the same, FluoroType^® NG can be combined with the FluoroType^® CT assay for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis. Thus, the isolated DNA can be used in both test and you save valuable time.
• User-friendly: The test procedure is simple and requires only a few working steps: A ready-to-use amplification mix which includes the Taq polymerase is provided with each kit thus enabling an easy PCR preparation. Fully automated amplification and detection take place on the FluoroCycler^® 12. The evaluation and result interpretation is done by the user-friendly software.
• CE-marked: No need for elaborate validation studies.
